The United States Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has found the latest technology to support battery charging in electric cars. This technology only takes five minutes, the battery is fully charged.
Of course, this discovery helps one of the main obstacles to electric vehicles, namely charging that takes time. With five minutes, filling an EV is equivalent to the time it takes to fill the tank of a gasoline-powered car.
"This technology can increase the amount of electric current from electric vehicle chargers by about 1,400 amps, or nearly five times faster than current chargers of about 520 amps," NASA said in a statement.
Furthermore, researchers from Purdue University demonstrated a technique called "flow sub-cooling boil" which increases the effectiveness of heat transfer, which could aid EVs, but is actually aimed at the International Space Station.
Unfortunately, this five-minute full charge technology is not yet available for electric vehicles on the market today, as it requires capacity, measured in amperes or amps, far beyond what is currently
available.
However, when this technology is available, NASA technology can provide the temperature control required by the charging system.
"In the future, Purdue University plans to work with electric vehicle companies or charging cable manufacturers to test this prototype within the next two years," Purdue University said in a statement.
